The Quiet Listeners

by Laura Foley
Go into the woods

and tell your storyto the trees.

They are wise

standing in their folds of silence

among white crystals of rock

and dying limbs.

And they have time.

Time for the swaying of leaves,

the floating down,the dust.

They have time for gathering

and holding the earth about their feet.

Do this.

It is something I have learned.

How they will bend down to you

so softly.

They will bend down to you and listen.

I saw 3/4 of the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose this weekend. I watched it initially because the lead character is played by Jennifer Carpenter from the movie White Chicks. (I know, White Chicks wasn't a blockbuster winner, but I thought she did well with what she had.) In any event, the movie about Emily Rose was very nicely done I thought. I'll have to watch it again so I can see it from the beginning, but it was very creepy, detailed, and honest, anmd interesting. Why do I mention it here? Well because I can :)

This weekend was not without it's events, but for the most part, it was just a weekend. I've discovered some things about me, and kept chipping away at the mystery that surrounds a lot of who I am and what I like, and made some startling discoveries. I feel so much like part Indiana Jones (but the sexy female version) stumbling on treasures and taking on missions to FIND more treasures with great risk; and part Seer seeking blindly with only instinct and supernatural guidance to find the answers to a great puzzle.

In any event, I find my inspiration lacking this morning so because I have no words of wisdom, no message to totally rock and shake you to the core... I'll post this instead:

WELL WISHES, INTENTIONS, and BLESSINGS

My wish for you all today is that the Monday blues do not find you. Instead the glow of Friday (or whatever day you find happiest) envelope you and provide you with enough brightness to cast away the blues.

XO
